The Inferential Design Of Entropy And Its Application To Quantum Measurements, Kevin Vanslette Jan 2018

The Inferential Design Of Entropy And Its Application To Quantum Measurements, Kevin Vanslette

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

This thesis synthesizes probability and entropic inference with Quantum Mechanics and quantum measurement [1-6]. It is shown that the standard and quantum relative entropies are tools \emph{designed} for the purpose of updating probability distributions and density matrices, respectively [1]. The derivation of the standard and quantum relative entropy are completed in tandem following the same inferential principles and design criteria. This provides the first design derivation of the quantum relative entropy while also reducing the number of required design criteria to two.


Black Hole Microstates & Integrable Deformation In String Theory, Jia Tian Jan 2018

Black Hole Microstates & Integrable Deformation In String Theory, Jia Tian

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

In this thesis, we study microstate geometries of black holes in string theory and explore several aspects of integrabile Conformal Field Theories (CFTs).
